Slightly more than August but nowhere near July. It is peak race season so this includes Northshore and New York 100K. Somewhat counter-intuitively, racing means that I skate slightly less and noticeably fewer miles.

Way down from my usual monthly average but September is always busy for me at work. Sept 2014 was better than Sept 2013 though (7 sessions 89.13 miles) so I am happy about that. Still on a good pace to beat last years total count.

Max Distance is actually 87 miles. I absentmindedly turned off the Garmin when paused to determine if I was still on course between checkpoints 4 and 5.

This month is a mix of late race season and early off-season. Athens to Atlanta, the last race came right in the middle. I've cut my Sunday workout back to my baseline 39 miles but I've kept doing "double" commutes as I think this is the most effective hedge against fitness loss and waist line expansion as I head into the rainy/reduced activity/increased eating season.

Mileage wise, October came in slightly greater than May, when I started to really ramp up.

That's the official tally: very slightly less than October and all skating. Unofficially, I did another 13 miles on the bike, which I failed to record and a 7 mile hike which I did record but which Garmin Connect refuses to include in the total.

Altogether, pretty successful at forstalling Winter deconditioning. However, the rains have really begun now. Nada for the last two days of the month. Today, I expected to skate home from work but the rain came later and harder so it was too wet when the time came. I hoofed it. Better than nothing but experience has shown that walking lacks the needed intensity to make a good workout.
